I think comments made by people like poster TLAK are a perfect example why diesels have never sold well in the USA. Comments made on mis-information, lack of accurate information in general, and little to no actual experience of owning one over time (and taking proper care of it).
He states that the many diesel rigs I listed that been offered for a long time, we NOT long-lived or got good fuel mileage.
